He had just come over to deliver something. Never would he have imagined that he’d overhear such a conversation between Xavia and Lily…
The most shocking thing of all, however, that though Miss Whitham had faked her pregnancy—and had even pretended to have a miscarriage—, Miss Lockhart was still willing to help her cover up and deceive Chairman Talton! How sad the chairman would be if he found out!
In the end, Anthony simply left quietly and pretended that he hadn’t heard a thing…
Shortly after, Stefan returned with Yulia, and in his hands were several candies and toys. Upon seeing that, Xavia gently poked Yulia’s cheek while asking, “Why did you get so many things, Yulia? Did you act all cutesy in front of Uncle Talton until he couldn’t say no?”
“N-no… Uncle Talton was the one who insisted on buying lots of things for me… He said that he wanted to buy all the things he couldn’t get for me during the long gap that we hadn’t met!”
Stefan then quickly added, “Indeed. I was the one who suggested it in the first place. That aside, go play with your toys for now, little princess. Uncle Talton wants to have a chat with your mommy for a bit.”
“Okay!” replied Yulia as she retrieved the toys from Stefan’s arms and ran off to a table to start playing on her own.
With Yulia out of the way, Stefan was prompted to ask, “Speaking of which, was something up when you called me that night…? I remember you calling through an unfamiliar number though I couldn’t ask any further because… well, you know how busy I was...”
Xavia, for one, didn’t want Stefan to worry about her. Besides, the matter had been resolved anyway. With that in mind, she turned to glance at Lily who was now staring at her—from her bed—with pleading eyes. Upon realizing that Xavia had noticed her pitiful look, Lily then quickly pretended to sleep again.
This prompted Xavia to subtly shake her head before saying, “…It was nothing major. At the time, I heard rumors that Miss Whitham had met with an accident. Since I was out and didn’t have my cell phone with me back then, I borrowed someone’s phone to ask you about it. That aside, now that I know that her condition and emotional state aren’t the greatest, you should try to accompany her more. Once she recovers, you could try getting her pregnant again to ease her aching heart…”
Upon hearing that, Stefans initially tender expression fell slightly. Get her pregnant again…? Stefan hadn’t even touched Lily before ever since their marriage. After all, they had only copulated before since Lily had used vile means to get what she wanted. With that in mind, Stefan was rightfully hesitant to go along with Xavia’s words…
Eventually, Stefan ended up replying, “…We’ll talk about it once she fully recovers. In other news, I’ll be heading to M Country on a business trip in two days. Naturally, I’ll be bringing her along so she can travel around and hopefully relax a little…”
